From the very beginning I always liked the Nokia phones. The had/have a careful approach with the software and hardware. Take the almost new Nokia N8; with Android it would IMHO be the most beautiful Android phone. But... for some reason I can't figure out, they insist on burying the company with Symbian.
From my impression of this article, detailing a former executive's proscription to saving Nokia, Nokia has very bureaucratic and change-adverse middle management layer.
